The king behind the empress

61 Slaughter
After Feng Youcai made his statement, everyone had a decision in their hearts. When Zhang Yuan came, they still said that there was no food.

After making up his mind, everyone relaxed. The Cao Yin who slandered the empress last time glanced at the empty table and said with some dissatisfaction: "This Lord Hou is too stingy. I paid you back last time." I got some food, but this time not only did I have nothing to eat, I was even reluctant to give some snacks."

"It's not that I don't prepare snacks for you, but I'm afraid that you won't eat them."

Just when Cao Yin was complaining, Zhang Yuan, who was wearing casual clothes, just brought someone in. He looked at Cao Yin and said meaningfully: "It would be bad to waste it at that time."

"Master Hou, I didn't mean that."

Cao Yin, who complained behind his back and was overheard, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It's just that Cao got up a little late, and he hasn't had time to eat breakfast. At this time, he is a little hungry, so he speaks without words, and I still look forward to it." Lord forgive me."

"It's okay, I want to eat when I'm hungry, it's my nature, there's nothing to blame."

Zhang Yuan laughed, and said, "It's just snacks, I'm really not prepared, so Patriarch Cao may be hungry for a while."

"It's okay, it's okay." Cao Yin said with a sneer: "Cao eats fat, it doesn't matter if he is hungry."

"Patriarch Cao, don't worry, there are not many things to do today."

Zhang Yuan looked at Cao Yin and said with a pun, "It will be resolved soon."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yuan ignored him and went straight to the front, then turned around and said to these people: "Everyone, I believe you have also received the news."

"The imperial court allocated 400 million taels of military salary to this Marquis, and it will be delivered in a few days."

"But because there is no food in the treasury, [-] shi was allocated for food and grass, which is far from enough for the [-] troops defending the city."

Zhang Yuan came here with murderous intentions this time, so he didn't go around in circles at all, and said straight to the point: "Therefore, I want to buy some food and grass from everyone. I don't know what you think?"

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, there was silence in the field, and no one spoke up.

According to the general situation, when no one responded, Zhang Yuan should ask a few people to come out to ask, but he didn't ask this time, but continued to say directly: "I will not treat you badly at this time, and I hope to surpass the market." How do you feel about buying the grain and grass in your hands at a price of [-]%?"

After the voice fell, the field was still silent, and no one was willing to speak.

"Why, you are not willing to sell it at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price? How much do you want to sell?"

Zhang Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at the people in the field and said coldly: "Could it be that you really want to wait for the army to run out of food, and let the soldiers grab the food?"

"Master Hou is serious."

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said about this, Feng Youcai had no choice but to answer: "It's not that we don't want to sell food to Lord Hou, but that we really don't have any food left at home."

"Since the imperial court already has money at this time, it shouldn't be a problem to buy military rations. We are willing to jointly submit a memorial to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send some more rations to Xunzhou."

Feng Youcai's words were very beautiful. As for what Zhang Yuan said just now, he didn't take it seriously at all, and he even wished that Zhang Yuan would fight for food.

There are many bigwigs in the imperial court who are at odds with Zhang Yuan, an old man. If Zhang Yuan really went all out to rob food, then Zhang Yuan undoubtedly gave the handle to those people himself.

At that time, Feng Youcai's robbed food was nothing at all, and he could earn a lot of money just by asking for some conditions from the court's bigwigs.

"There is no surplus food, it is good that there is no surplus food."

Feng Youcai, who Zhang Yuan answered, said calmly: "Patriarch Feng, as far as I know, your Feng clan alone has thousands of hectares of fertile land in Xunzhou."

"I don't count too much on you this time. Even if your Feng family has a thousand hectares of fertile land, you can harvest at least 30 shi of grain every year."

"As for you Feng family, even including the servants, the population is only a thousand. Come and tell me, where is the grain collected from your fields?"

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Feng Youcai's face changed suddenly. He stood up, looked at Zhang Yuan with a gloomy face, and said, "Master Hou, you are so old that you don't understand what you said."

"The old man's family has some property, but they don't even have a thousand acres, let alone a thousand hectares."

"What is Hou Ye trying to slander the old man so much?"

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said sharply: "Then I will say it again, now that the army is short of food, I am willing to buy it at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price." .”

"Are you selling it or not?"

"So what if we don't sell it?"

Knowing that Zhang Yuan was secretly investigating him, Feng Youcai said without giving in, "Does Hou Ye still dare to kill..."

"Pfft..."

Before Feng Youcai could finish his sentence, a soldier standing next to him stabbed a knife into the back of his heart, blood splashed out immediately.

This sudden change instantly stunned everyone present.

President Zhu, who was closest to Feng Youcai, was spattered with blood on his face. He subconsciously wiped it with his hand. When he saw his hand was bright red, he shouted in shock: "Killer!!!"

"Zhang Yuan, you actually killed Feng Gong, are you going to rebel?"

"Invasion of the country, self-respecting food storage during wartime, this is a national thief, so what if I kill him?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at President Zhu, then waved his hand slightly, "They are all national thieves, kill them all!"

"Zhang Yuan is about to rebel, run!"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, President Zhu was greatly shocked, but as the president of the chamber of commerce who often runs around, he is not one of those powerless family masters.

With a sudden shake of his hand, he threw the two iron galls in his hand towards Zhang Yuan, and then turned and ran out without looking back.

"Tips for carving insects."

Looking at the two iron galls flying towards him, Zhang Yuan didn't even bother to hide.

"Puff~Puff~"

Two menacing iron gallbladders, with the sound of breaking the wind, hit Zhang Yuan's body as if they were hitting cowhide. After two muffled bangs, they fell to the ground without causing any harm to Zhang Yuan. harm.

On President Zhu's side, just two steps away, he was overtaken by a soldier, and the soldier swung a knife directly at President Zhu's back.

In the end, President Zhu showed that besides his agility that was very inconsistent with his figure, he just avoided the fatal knife with a twist.

As President Zhu in the later stage of Qihai, he didn't pay attention to the ordinary soldier behind him at all. If he hadn't rushed out of the yard early, he would have turned around and pinched the soldier behind him to death.

The soldier who lost his sword was a little surprised, but then he became a little annoyed, "Fatty man, he can hide!"

The soldier swung his knife again, President Zhu repeated his old tricks, trying to avoid the knife, but as soon as he twisted, the knife that followed him immediately changed its shape and pierced directly into his back.

"Fatty man, hide again!"

President Zhu, who was stabbed through the back of his heart, had only one thought in his mind before he died.

"Physical refinement..."

President Zhu's guess was correct, these soldiers were all Zhang Yuan's personal guards, and all of them were above the refinement level.

So under their butcher's knife, the heads of these aristocratic families and the president of the chamber of commerce were all killed in a short while.

　Thank you for the 4 chapters of the monthly ticket voted by your real name, thank you for the 2 monthly tickets voted by Fenglin under the night, thank you for your support.

　　Note: 1 hectare = 50 mu, the annual harvest of 1 mu is about 6 stones, 1 stone = 100 catties (this statement is controversial, so I took an intermediate value, definitely not because I am not good at mathematics, but for convenience This number is used for calculation, haha).
